1 loaf challah bread

8 ounces mascarpone cheese

Separately, combine mascarpone, ricotta cheese and powdered sugar using a whisk.

Fold

Gently fold the blueberries into the mascarpone mixture.

Spread any leftover mascarpone within the gaps.

Pour the egg wash evenly over the slices of challah bread.
